Never thought we'd shed tears on a podcast about football. Then again, never expected to get so attached to a manager. With Jurgen Klopp's final game in charge on the horizon, and nothing to play for, it's all a bit emotional in the DITBox pod-room. Don't worry though, we leave it until the very end, so you can still get the expected, most biased unbiased analysis of the weekend action. With City beating a lackluster Tottenham, will it be the inevitable yet again? Can Luton close a 12 goal gap t...

Ahhh the UCL has widdled down to it's last two contestants, Harry Kane joins a team who hasn't gone trophy-less since 2012 and properly showed them how to do it. The EFL seasons are coming to a close and the playoffs are heating up. The premier league is experiencing a 3 way race for 1 place at the bottom and a two way race for the top. What a magical time it is. Season's hopes and dreams have all been but dashed and smashed against reality and many clubs are facing yet another season with nothi...

UCL Semis, Title race still on the burner, and the relegation battle is spicy. We cover it all and take a trip to Yorkshire to discover the rich footballing history as well as the overall sporting history of the area that quite a few clubs call home. As we wind the season down it appears the refs just don't give a shit about red cards anymore. I'd say officiating as well but they haven't cared about that all season. I feel for Klopp when he says he's burnt out. Watching game after game up and do...

Oh the pod has devolved with the lunacy of the run in. Although Liverpool's fate has since been sealed we don't know that yet upon recording so come laugh at us being optimistic. Regardless, we talk FA Cup action and all the fascinating relegation battling results. We try to guess each other's thoughts and marvel over how Dean Henderson can go from hero to zero overnight despite Palace collecting 9 points from 3 games. It's all over the board here but it's a fun show.

UCL action boils down to the semis sans English teams, and Liverpool's miracle story book ending for Jurgen sees it's wheels fall off. Tottenham lose and Villa take the points at Arsenal. Just when you thought you had the season cornered it throws up some incredible turns. Burnley's keeper has a wonder game marred by an OG and, despite being 4-0 up, Chelsea children have a spat about a PK. It's an episode bursting with storylines and you won't want to miss it. Gear up for the weekend and get the...

We started off on an awful topic in our pre-pod conversation but we were able to quickly bounce back with all the glorious action and bring you the "sexy-side" of the sport. We've got goals, goals, goals, and an almighty relegation battle weekend. Points grabbed and lost at the death of a handful of games and we cover it all. From the bummerfest of City vs Arsenal to the glory of Newcastle vs West Ham. Catch up with Pep's press conference and find out who Kelly thinks will win the league... or h...

Have you ever wondered about our playing careers? Ever wonder what movies inspire us? Ever wonder if Kelly has peed herself during practice? No, neither have we but we are telling you anyways. For the final international break before the end of the season, we decided to play a short version of 21 questions all relating to our sports lives. Some answers make us laugh, some bring up tearful moments, but all are the truth. We do not hold back on embarrassments, anger, or sadness. So plug us into yo...

International break has begun but not before a few spicy FA Cup ties and a few boring EPL matches. Honors were split between the two competitions and so was the berth of the action. We dive into all the action this week and go on a few rants about a certain game. We discuss the points deduction, the Spanish raids, and all the goals from the English domestic competitions from the weekend. We even dabble a bit in the quarter final draws for Europe. We do all this while battling foggy minds and stu...

In a week where the table sees a new leader, we were privy to witness a masterclass in tactics and skill in Pep and Jurgen's last Premier League meeting. Although the spoils were shared it was nothing short of what we expect when these two teams face off. Arsenal took advantage of the fight and snuck into the lead on their 2024 goal difference boost. Big games at the bottom of the table all went to draws despite leading positions for the teams who needed it most. Key teams struggling to stay out...

In a week where we both had trouble picking a worst game, their was a standout worst performance. In Arsenal's 2024 new year, new me look, they've won 7 prems on the bounce by a combined score of 31-3, smashing an awful excuse for a team at Sheffield. The Gunners are defiantly benefiting from the spotlight being fixed on Liverpool and Man City, but as Gordon warns, if they keep this vein of form up, it won't be for long. Join us as we celebrate Graham's birthday with a trip around London and a f...

This week was packed with three different domestic competitions, two prem weekends, FA Cup 5th round, AND of course, the small matter of the Carabao Cup Final. If that wasn't enough action for you then I don't know which sport you should follow because it doesn't get more exciting than that. Maidstone's fairy tale comes to a fiery end, City smashes Luton, and Man United and Liverpool are drawn together, and this was just the FA Cup. Liverpool's youth squad takes on Chelsea's Blue Billion Pound B...

Uncle Roy kicked the bucket, or at least pretended to. In one of the most OG moves from the almost 80 year old loveable owl-man, Roy faked his own death to expertly avoid the thunderous rumors he was on his way out of Palace. Shouting at the haters with a wink, "Can't fire me if I'm dead". The move was akin to faking sick on the day of the big 2nd grade math exam and we applaud him for it. In other news, Thomas Tuchel was dragged out to the open ocean by Bayern and forced to announce his departu...

Instead of going out and enjoying the loving embrace of someone special's company, we decided to podcast because, love for this sport is all we need. We discuss the return of Champions League, the possibility that Kane has brought the Spurs juju to Munich, and a title race that continues to heat up. And I would be remise to not mention the spicy Kelvin Phillips vs Pep FATgate. So throw the pod on, grab a beverage of your choice and join us for our latest episode.

Maybe one of the lowest days in DITBox history and yet we managed to get in the studio and record. Our happiness is bringing you content and, honestly, it was therapeutic. One of the reasons we HAD to get onto the mics was the record goal weekend! We saw 8 of the 10 games have 4+ goals and only 1 game fail to record 3., *cough cough* looking at you BOU vs NFO. We had two English kids verbally clashing in Spain, Arteta (over) celebrating on the touchline, and Cole Palmer scoring again as Chelsea ...

Yes, Gordon made a massive error last week and lost the audio file for the podcast! We apologize for missing you all last week. And just when we wanted to go and throw an extra special episode out for you all, Jurgen Klopp decides to quit on us! Hard to get excited about anything when a member of your family tells you they're not coming back. OK, OK, not that serious but it was giving us major bum vibes all week. We manage to power through this one with some insanely entertaining mid-week games....

As the temperature plummets to well below freezing, we decided to pod virtually again. In a week with only five games, we still manage to squeeze in a solid 90 mins. Of course we get a little side tracked on account of Kelly's birthday, but hey, when don't we? In this episode we discuss the return of KDB and what it means to the season, Aston Villa's legitimacy, AFCON, and a heart warming story surrounding a world renown manager. What makes Pep smile? Are Villa punching above their weight? Does ...

Back in studio with nothing to talk about on the EPL front. However, there was plenty of domestic action to discuss along with one or two beer bottles being thrown. Both figuratively and literally. Tay Swift, the question of existence, and a shocking revelation in the condiment industry all squeeze their way into the podcast as well. Proving once again, we don't need much to fill a podcast with content. Tune in to recap the FA Cup third round, the Carabao Cup, and setting up Match Week 21. This ...

Back in the saddle again after a nice holiday break. Refreshed and ready to ignore the three weeks of matches and focus on Week 20. The topsy-turvy table shake up from Pre-Christmas to New Year's Day was something to behold. Although we can be assured that the return of KDB, Erling, and Pep's impeccable second half form might leave everyone in the dust, we can at least enjoy the leap-frogging we're witnessing on a weekly basis for the time being. Only one Red card to mention during the holiday b...

Yes, you read that right. We saddle up and take 5 shots to match the reds received this weekend, 3 courtesy of VAR upgrades. Of course as the shots increase so do our tangents but we manage to pack all the weekend action into the episode. From the lack luster Liverpool to the wholesome Roy Hodgson smile, we have you covered for match week 17. If you try to keep up with us over the holiday weekend to help cope with family, make sure to get a DD. Merry Christmas to all!!!!

13 goals in 7 days for high flying Fulham, two clean sheets and an almost historic night at Anfield, does it get any better? Well yes, because now they get us to hype them up in our newest podcast episode. We do our best to cover 20 games over the last 5 days and remember how the world-wind of 9 available points in the blink of an eye shaped the table. Just like that Everton almost erase the 10 point deduction but with Luton starting to find their voice, will the surge be enough for the rest of ...

Another wild, goal filled weekend graced our picture boxes and we are here for it. An incredible Sunday thrill ride for the title race proceedings left us dying for mid-week action. We decided to pod on Monday so we don't discuss those events here, but we will be sure to offer our insight on them in next week's episode... cliffhanger! Apart from the scores, the only massive change is the "maybe" sacking of Sheffield United's manager became an actuality. Despite being what feels like forever ago,...

First taste of action back from the third international break of the season and it did not disappoint. On the precipice of the most grueling time in any of Europe's top flights and we were treated to a flurry of goals, VAR interventions, and last minute winners. A rather cagey City vs Liverpool game started us off but it quickly gained pace and ended with a wonderfully eventful Fulham vs Wolves match up. We cover it all, including the crazy Maracana scenes, Pep vs Nunez, and the god awful protes...

Thanksgiving already! VAR, Everton, Man United, and FFP are some of the things we are thankful for. Yes, they're annoying, but BOY do they give us a whole host of topics to discuss with you all! Seriously though we couldn't have imagined how much fun this was going to be five years ago and we could not be more thankful for the opportunity to release some work week stress into your ear holes. We cap of the final international break until March with some pressing stories on Everton's point deducti...

Back in studio for the first time in AGES! Just in time for another international break (insert ughh here). The main topic of conversation is, of course, the tasty fixture of Chelsea vs City. It had the goals, it had the back and forth drama, and it had the backstory of an up-incoming youngster who switched sides. Whether he joined the Dark side or the Jedi Order is your call. The slug-fest wasn't the only goal-trader as we witnessed Palace vs Everton and West Ham vs Forest do similar. It was go...

We are BACK... well sort of. As explained in the pod we took a short hiatus due to a family emergency so first off, thank you all who stuck with us during the short pause in recording. All the love and support we received over the last two weeks means the world to myself (Gordon) and my family, so thank you DITBox Nation! Now back to the good stuff! We catch up on all the heavy hitting stories from the break and touch on some delicious and disgusting ones as well. We mention Ballon d'Or voting, ...

Back in studio with no EPL games to discuss, not a problem for us. With the amount of good, bad, and ugly stories from the international break, we throw so many stories your way it could be a two parter. To highlight we discuss Euros, dogs, goalies, miracles, Clownchester United, and even toe the line politically. If you completely shut off for the break, this is the one for you as we will catch you right back up in time for the weekend EPL action to resume. Graham even gets shitty, so it's a mu...

As the inconsistent as the VAR decisions, Kelly and Gordon are yet again virtually podcasting due to scheduling conflicts. We battled the midnight storm and surging rain to provide the analysis of Game Week 9. We saw Villa falter again, VAR come, or not come as the case may be, to City's aid again, and West Ham and Newcastle duking it out, in what felt like an proper old school first division match. Graham preps us for life inside another international break, and both Gus and Tom receive shout o...

We just cannot catch a planning break this season and sickness forces us to record remotely again. Luckily for you, there's so much controversy surrounding the weekend, and we aren't just talking about the Liverpool Spurs game. Pep loses two on the bounce, United set a crazy number of negative records, Newcastle whollops PSG in the Champion's League, and Luton get their first EPL win in their club's history. Catch your breath, open a 16 ozer, and get ready for all that, PLUS the VAR rant and con...

Two Premier League weeks with European competitions and EFL Carabao Cup in between, my oh my the action and plots thicken. Once again we're faced with a multi-RED weekend as the players just can't help themselves. And Newcastle couldn't help themselves either to a big fat helping of Sheffield United putting 8 past their opponents. Since it's a remote pod, Gordon decides to combat the REDs with straight Bourbon pulls and Kelly elects for her covers and pillows. We also talk about the small matter...

The Prem returns from International break and it's perfect timing too as we needed the on-field action to carry us through the pod. Four teams remain undefeated as two fall off, and the illustrious group chat we're in is starting to become hostile. The goals and VAR drama is plenty to talk about and, despite, have one tiny sticky note between us, we did quite well. Who could forget the start of the UEFA Champions League as well? The pod, of course, is sprinkled with all of our personal gripes an...
